OP,
Congrats on the new ride. Manuals and autos are great, just a matter of choice. Personally, I wanted a manual. My last high performance vehicle had an auto w/manual mode paddle shifters. I really missed a manual so when I purchased this car manuals were the only way to go.

I love these threads....... There are definitely times where I wished I'd bought the stick. The tapshift shifter helps but I still miss the shifting at times. Sipping on my coffee WHILE stabbing the gas and beating the Mustang is always fun. |

My s-10 is a manual, it's fun playing for a while but there are times I wish it too was an automatic.

Tell you what. I'm on crutches for the moment, so really wishing I kind of had an auto. I can push my clutch, it's just extremely painful.
Solution is drive as little as possible, shift without the clutch when possible(glad I learned to do that in my mom's Ford Ranger POS Edition years ago) and put it in third and leave it, that's enough gear to usually get me where I'm going.

I agree with Jay Leno on this one! My truck is a auto but I miss my 6 speed Camaro!

I didn’t even question why I bought an automatic. I am lazy and with today’s technology, why shift gears if you don’t have to. The computer is a lot smarter than me and I don’t have to worry about red lining the engine.
And as far as having more control with a manual, when I am driving at a high rate of speed (passing, etc.) I prefer to have both hands on the steering wheel. Just my 2 cents.

There's no debate the auto is quicker and more consistent at the strip, and manuals make you more involved with the overall driving experience. It is all about personal preference.
But, when one person buys an auto because his wife said so and another mods his auto to look like a manual, its open season. So, how many of you auto owners are going to trade yours in for that new magenta???
